"Addiction .2" is the reissue of out of print 1995 China White’s second album when they were in “reunion” mode with plenty more. Despite a nearly twenty year gap in recordings, they managed to maintain the song quality between records, with the re-recordings of songs from the first record played faster, also included are two unreleased tracks and a set from one of their more recent live performances at DiPiazza's in Long Beach, CA in 2003.

In 1995, Malt Soda produced a mixture, of songs re-released, and previously"unreleased" sections, performed by The Fucked ie: F.U.C.K. U of which later became to be known as: "The Outsiders".

China White grouped these songs, and added some new songs written by guitar hero Frank Ruffino circa 1977-1995. Early Outsiders lyrics were essentially written by Donny Grose (The Fucked) a.k.a "Outsiders". Initially, the albums intent was to consolidate the guitar work of Frank Ruffino. Most of Frank Ruffino's finest guitar work can be found on this album, and it's musical significance is primarily attributed to Franks talent dating back to 1977.

In 1978, I fronted for Non-Fascists with Marc Martin on lead guitar, and later fronted for China White, in the "Formative" years, before moving onto Social Task. I later returned in 1985-86 during the 2nd Gen re-union tours.

Addiction, pretty much sums up the "Word" for what was happening to us in those days. Deemed, initially as the "Addiction" to the music, the song took on a new dimension, shortly after we had added "Live In Your Eye's" of which was pretty much rooted in the song "Overlimited" an earlier Non-Fascist song.

Heroin addiction, launched songs like: "Hung on a Pin" and "Live in your Eye's" Chinese Rocks, and ultimately --"Addiction" Our band, logo was conceived from a "TWILIGHT ZONE" episode, and our name derived from the Johnny Thunders song --CHINESE ROCKS.

Sadly, alot of the members adopted that lifestyle, as I chose not to ever get into doing that stuff. To me, it was more about the music. If you desire, to hear EARLY HUNTINGTON BEACH Punk Rock......Get the "Addiction .2" CD set. (Scott Sisunik -original singer)
